Victron Multiplus 12 / 500 / 20 gives 5V and 12V but no 220V
Had something weirdly similar happen with my Multiplus last summer — proper head-scratcher moment. Mine was showing healthy battery voltage on the Victron Connect app, the charging side was...

Mate, the real answer is "yes, but..." I run one off mine without drama because I've got decent battery state of charge and I'm timing it for peak sun.

Motorhome lithium upgrade — ditching the AGMs
Solid upgrade. I went Fogstar 200Ah for the garden office last year and the difference is mental — no more voltage sag when the kettle and charger are running simultaneously. @AnneOliver, yeah...
